Fresh off stomping a mudhole in the Charlotte Bobcats on Sunday (which allowed Area55 to break out the previously suggested by Naptown Seth "Naptown-Beatdown" chant for the first time) , the Pacers return tomorrow to Bankers Life to welcome the OLD, yet almost as putrid as the new, Charlotte franchise from New Orleans (soon to be Seattle?) to town, and look for a chance to go for their third straight W.

Unfortunately for the Hornets and North Central High School, "hometown hero" and massively wanted on this forum Hornets SG Eric Gordon is still hurt. For that matter, so is Vincennes and Purdue alum Carl Landry, as he will not play tonight against Oklahoma City (yet ANOTHER former home of the Hornets). While Pacers ticket staff are probably a little disappointed that they likely won't draw the crowd they would have gotten if they were healthy, I'm personally disappointed for another reason: We can't hurt a fan's feelings for booing a "hometown hero" this time.:laugh:

But let's look at the bright side, as I was looking at notes for New Orleans' game tonight, we can draw solace in the fact that there will STILL be a homecoming of sorts tomorrow night. Not only will former Pacer Jarrett Jack be returning to his home for a season, but as of last Wednesday, the Hornets signed THIS guy:

Anyway, so I can stop ripping off IndyHoya's pregame writeups and get back to the point, Area 55 is looking for chants focused towards Aminu, Ariza, Jarrett, and Gustavo Ayon (I have NO IDEA how to pronounce that by the way). but as always, the books is wide open for PG-rated chants.

As usual, put them here or send them over to @area55chants, @pacers_chants, @thesandman21 or @letstalkpacers on Twitter.

I know the Hornets are 7-26, but we (nor the Pacers themselves) can't overlook them tomorrow night. So let's BRING IT!

May I suggest something nice for Brooke if she's back for that game (or when she's back in general), like in the pregame or during a timeout?

Anytime a Hornets big is on the free throw line chant, "SOLO'S-BETTER" clap clap clap clap clap. Yes, you are indirectly supporting a Hornets player, but you're much more so mocking whoever is at the line.

If Solo gets to the line, "MVP, MVP"

'don't match any offer that the Pacers make to EJ...no matter how low it is. He likes Indy more than NOLA'

Not sure what good chanting about the team location does in regards to taunting the players. Taunting the fans, yes, but going after the fans isn't the point (especially considering that there but for the grace of God - and Herb - go we). I doubt if the players particularly care about where the franchise is located.

That's was my thinking, too, back when Cleveland came in to town. Didn't see the point of the "LeBron" chants. The players don't care.

Pick one NOLA player (doesn't really matter) and boo him everytime he touches the ball. You know like you'd give a star player like Kobe or Lebron. The poor guy won't know what he did to **** everyone off and his own teammates will question him about it too.

No joke if a Hornet fan in the building comes and and punches you I wouldn't blame them. Taking ones team is not something to joke about IMO that is too low and has nothing to do with the players but the fans.

Would you say the same if it was the Knicks or Bulls that was going to possibly move? Yes, because you hate them. Besides its our house, they shouldn't expect to be treated like royalty. Hell, I was told to go home by a Bulls fan- at BLF!
